I had problems getting my Iranian visa on time and it
looks it was a snap compared to getting the Libyan visa. My
travel people warned me about it and are keeping me in the
loop. We will see whether I might do better getting it in
London or go through their regular channels and get it from
Canada. But they are the ones who told me the Libyans didn't
clear several Americans on the last trip. I know, for the
first time in my life, I'm looking into travel insurance in
case this all folds. I'm due to go in February. By November,
everything can change!

So far, I've found Delta-Alitalia the cheapest/most
convenient way to go from SFO. I'm flying into Tunis for
several days and then meeting the tour in Tripoli, flying
back from Tripoli. Looks like it will run less than $900. Go
via NYC & Milan. Return Milan & Atlanta.
